Ex Girl to Next Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Guru] You know I used to be a player, fly girl layer and a heartbreaker Lovemaker, backbreaker but then I made a Mistake, yes, I fell in love with this ill chick Sweatin' me for money, my name and the dilsnick My homeboys told me drop her 'cause it would be to my benefit She used to say I'd better quit hanging with those derelicts Romancing is my thing but I can't swing with no scheming hoes Wherever my Beemer goes, you know that I'm driving Surviving in the '90s is a must so I trust That everyone listen up as my vocals give thrust I bust my rhymes first, never chasing a skirt Do much work while other suckas need more time to rehearse Now back to the ex-girls, ex-lovers, ex-friends It made me mad to find that she was only after my ends She phones me and goes on about her new life now I wish she knew right now, I think she's busted, let's discuss it When I was with her, no trust, just fights Just the he-say-she-say and the neighborhood highlights Now I got my new girl or as I say my baby doll But still, I'm gettin' crazy calls, my ex-girl's got balls Don't wanna play the field 'cause I get lovin' at home base Don't gimme no long face, just exit with grace You and I are the past, c'est la vie, much respect, girl But now you're my ex-girl 'cause I'm on with the next girl [Chorus] ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so—, so—, so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") [Verse 2: Guru] She had much loot, liked to buy me fresh-dipped gear Liked to have me near 'cause of my savoir faire The time we shared was brief 'cause I needed relief From her high-classed antics and all her conceit Now she's crying wolf and I, like, don't wanna hear that I told her the bare facts when things started out She whines and she pouts about how I did her bad, yo But she tried to buy me, even tempt me with the hiney I fell for a sec 'cause the clothes were real fly I could almost feel I would give into her whims Her thoughts were erratic, sporadic, crazy in nature I told her hey look, yo, I can no longer date ya Tried to pimp me with bank and fell short, your ship sank Many thanks for the time and the watch and the link You and I are the past, c'est la vie, nuff respect, girl But now you're my ex-girl 'cause I'm straight with the next girl [Chorus] ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so—, so—, so good") Next ("Look— look— look—, look— look— look—, look— look— look— Look so good") [Verse 3: Guru] You saw my moms in the supermarket and gave her your number You asked her how's my sister then asked her how's my brother Didn't ask about my father 'cause you know he ain't like ya Every time I left for your crib, he'd really get hyper The advice he used to give me makes much sense now I can't believe I used to let you break my confidence down You used to ask me why the hell did I wanna live in Brooklyn? You messed up my flow, although you were good-lookin' Yes, darling was fly and this was the problem 'Cause back in the day she had me scheming and robbin' To get her things to wear so when she went to the club All eyes were on her and who, me? I just bugged Caught in between feeling proud or feeling more like a sucker Had to go undercover, get away, and find another Been in Brooklyn nine years and been around the world, too I've seen so many fly girls and I knew just what to do I went from ex to the next, took my time with each one And you know they still love me, so stop jellin' me, hon I went home to see my moms and I saw you at the bus stop Must I stop? Nah, I think not You and I are the past, c'est la vie, much respect, girl But now you're my ex-girl and I'm out with the next girl Out... [Chorus] ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look so good") Next ("'Cause girls look, look—, look—, look—, look so—")
